Aoud Damascus

Montale Aoud Damascus is an Oriental fragrance for men and women with distinctive notes of rare oud wood and roses. It is part of the first French perfume line dedicated to rare oud wood, an ingredient with a resinous aroma. This line has been brought to the world by the Montale brand, which is characterised by its love of fragrances from the Orient and Arabia and its interest in their enchanting history. As with all the fragrances from the Montale brand, the greatly admired, yet somewhat enigmatic Pierre Montale has given the Aoud Damascus Eau de Parfum an original character evoking a miraculous elixir or a rare magical salve.

The Aoud Damascus Eau de Parfum constitutes the combination of the fascinating refinement of Arabian oud wood with the wonderful slightly acidic Damascus rose. The composition is exhorted to originality by the special incense and brilliant gurjun balsam. One of the two main aromatic components in the Aoud Damascus Eau de Parfum, the wood of the Aquilaria tree, also known as eagle wood, agarwood, oud, aoud or (in Arabic) oudh, is a fascinating material with a resinous aroma and the most expensive wood in the world, and has been used for centuries to make incense and (especially Arabian) perfumes. This truly regal ingredient, also sometimes called “liquid gold”, creates a popular duet with the unique Damascus rose in the composition of Montale Aoud Damascus.

Aoud Damascus offers a simple and yet complex fragrance. Pierre Montale has created a perfume which masterfully plays with the best of oud wood in combination with the distinctive, delicately sweet and deep Damascus rose, as if the time he spent in Saudi Arabia had imbued the brand’s founder and the creator of all the perfumes in its portfolio with the mysterious abilities of an oriental sorcerer. The two main components in the Aoud Damascus Eau de Parfum are accompanied in the composition by incense, gurjun balsam and safflower.
